London, UK. 14th October 2017. Class War asks two people leaving the so-called "museum' in Cable St if they enjoyed seeing exhibits glorifying the brutal series of 19th century murders and exhibiting materials relating to the death of working class women. THe protesters complain that Tower Hamlets council has not enforced the planning decisions against the "museum" which was only given planning permission under the pretence it would celebrate the history of women in the East End and symbolically attacked the tourist shop and its illegal metal shutters and signage with plastic inflatable hammers. One woman read a message from a descendant of one of the victims condemning the voyeuristic exploitation of her in the displays, and movingly told what was known about the unfortunate victims, reminding us that they were real people, with members of their families still living, and should not be exploited in this way. Police tried to get Class War to protest some distance from the shop without success. The whole Ripperology industry celebrates violence against women, and there is no real mystery; police at the time abandoned their invesigation when a suspect they were convinced was the killer committed suicide.
